Putting Sessions

A putter is the most-used club in the bag and usually the least tested. This session replaces guesswork on the practice green with a captured stroke path and a measured roll.

What We Capture

A Dedicated Rig, Not a Repurposed Driver Setup

Putting sessions run on a separate capture rig built specifically for short, low-speed strokes — the same launch monitors used for full swings aren't built to read putter face angle and strike location with the precision this club actually needs.

We log stroke path, face angle at impact, and how quickly topspin takes over after the ball leaves the face, since a putter that looks identical to another one on a shelf can produce a meaningfully different roll.

The Variables

What Actually Changes in a Putting Session

Head Balance

Face-balanced, toe-hang, or somewhere between — matched to whether your natural stroke arcs or moves straight back and through.

Length

Length changes eye position over the ball and posture at address, both of which shift strike location more than most golfers expect.

Lie Angle

Too upright or too flat pushes the toe or heel off the ground at address, which nudges face angle before the stroke even starts.

Grip Style

A thicker grip generally quiets wrist action through the stroke; a thinner grip preserves more feel for distance control on longer putts.

Head Weight

Heavier heads suit faster greens and longer putters; matched here to the speeds you actually play most often rather than a single default weight.

Insert & Face Milling

Softer inserts and milled faces produce different feel and sound off the strike, which measurably affects distance control consistency for some players.

Common Misses

What a Putting Session Usually Fixes

Consistent Pulls or Pushes

Often traces to lie angle at address rather than stroke path — a half-degree adjustment can close a gap that felt like a stroke flaw.

Short Putts Missed More Than Long Ones

Frequently a face-to-path mismatch that's more visible on shorter, more deliberate strokes than on longer, more free-flowing ones.

Distance Control That Won't Settle

An ill-fitted head weight or length can make tempo inconsistent from putt to putt, which shows up as distance control that never quite locks in.

A Stroke That Feels Different Every Round

Sometimes the putter itself, not the stroke, is the variable — captured data usually settles that question quickly.

Put a Number on Your Stroke

Putting sessions run 45 to 60 minutes on the dedicated rig, current putter included.
